Basically for a client i set up a site that the customer can login using php and sessions to few what i call thier file center. It will contain all the images they have uploaded. Some of them are of rather large size like up to a few hundred meg. Is there a way to display a small thumbnail of that image without having to load the whole file in the browser? Just curious. if i just use an image tag it takes forever because its trying to load that entire file even though i set the size to really small. Any input would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance. C

The gd library is built-in to the latest version of PHP. It can manipulate images, including resizing/resampling them. As always, check the php manual for more information.
